breakable glass; lowerleft problem?

[DestroyerOWorlds]

Hi there,

A few people have had this problem. Trying to create breakable
glass as in the tutorials and then the map doesn't run with an
error about lowerleft. -

No draw applied to all but 1 face, assigned it func_breakable_surf
and then I get the error -

Entity (func_breakable_surf) has unused keyvalue "lowerleft"

Has anyone had any luck solving this problem?

cheers,

DoW

I'm confused about your first sentences but there is no problem with the lowerleft thing. If you make a window, you just get that error in your check errors thing. There's nothing you can do about it and nothing to do about it, it dosn't mean anything. If your map isn't running I'm fairly sure it dosn't have anything to do with that.


And damn it, next time seach the friggn' forum. This has been talked about in at least 5 different threads.

Hmm,

No, Fender, this is a problem. The map does not run. This is following
the tutorials by the letter. Delete the glass and map runs ok.

No, Fender, I did search the forums. There was three threads with lowerleft
not 5 as you said, but you'd know that if you took your own advice.

But the main thread about it 'glass' there was also talk about other problems.
I contacted the people in the thread individually about this problem and they
still have not found a solution, and they are still interested to know a solution.

There was one other thread where a guy had the problem, and his hammer was
setup for CS and not HL2DM. Mine is correctly configured as HL2DM.

There was also some guys not knowing how to assign the glass material to
one face. Mine is assigned correctly.

I thought it was best to post a new topic just on this problem. But now you have
diluted this thread and turned it into some usage nonsense. So if we are to
get on our high horses and complain to newbies, just make sure that the guy
you are talking to isn't already on a bigger and higher horse. (My personal
horse is called thunder and he's very tall.)

Please don't continue this thread with anything other than talk about the
problem with glass and breakable and lowerleft. I am sorry if I am replying
to this in the same tone as your reply. I've been around a while, and I very
very very rarely join flames. (So you can feel happy that you wound me up
enough to reply!)

cheers,

I concurr - this is a valid error since I have the same, and it simply won't render the glass...

and for the 5 threads in which is has been discussed hasn't given any answers...

I have this problem with CS maps.

When I was getting problems like this I deleted everything, worked on the rest of my map and then came back to it. After that I got the errors in check problems (similar for ladders btw) but my map still ran allright. Could it be something like you have multiple objects given the breakable entity, the object penetrates into a brush or possibly something isn't snapped to the grid right? I am just speculating but they might be things to look for?

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I had this error and the problem was I was using the "wrong" glass, I changed what glass I was using and that solved it for me.
